Apex 693 Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Real shame, an M3 would make the craziest rally car, you would be clenching every corner and counter steering 80% of the time. They look fantastic when they get it wright though, love the couple that have so much grip they pop up on two wheels. Makes me want an M3 even more though.

A shame to see nice cars getting crashed, but that's the risk with rallying - no run off areas or tyre barriers, get it wrong and it's going to hurt! Loved the M3 rolling into the field and owning the Renault 5 Maxi, and the red M3 doing "an Olsen #14" ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Know a rally driver who commented: "If i can go faster by bouncing off a rock,bank,tree i will... the service guys will fix the car... not me...

E30 325i Rag-Top 2958 Report post Posted October 6, 2009 For those that don't know one of the reasons why group b was banned.... the fans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4UuZ5mauKkAnother good clip - "The End Of Group B" Those were the great days of rallying, but looking back now it did get a little out of control and when people start to get killed, drivers and spectators, something had to be done. Even today those cars are just awesome and I have still not seen anything that compares in the flesh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROFL!Yeah, he's OK, but not as good as that Sneijders guy tha't's on YouTube When Group B was banned, lots of the cars then moved into the European Rallycross events, half tarmac circuit and half dirt / gravel track. I was lucky in that two circuits, Brands Hatch and Lydden Hill were close to me, so I could go to lots of these events. Seeing RS200s 205T16s Audi S4s, R5 Maxi Turbo, Deltas, 6R4s, etc up close going full noise was ORSOME Searching YouTube now for some coverage....

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) They still race them too! So many cool Group-B cars developed by manufacturers never made a rally, had it continued there would have been some epic Homologation specials. I enjoyed the Group-A error , was nothing wrong with that! That is mean, never seen that befor! Cheers Simon. Edited October 7, 2009 by Apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
